Citizen Ride-Alongs

Citizens requesting a ride-along with a police officer must complete a Ride-Along Application form (ESPD 178), which includes ride-along requirements and a waiver.

The applications are available online or at the Escondido Police Department Business Office, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The business office notifies the applicant by telephone of the date and time of their scheduled ride-along.
